Before we go into being “unreasonable” , just a short journey back to Christmas to share this lovely little poem by Norman Wesley Brooks. “Let Every Day Be Christmas” Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box […]
THANK YOU to all those who attended an awesome, enjoyable and informative (if I may so myself!!) Saturday morning in Kirribilli with Nardia Norman and myself.
